EDITOR’S DESK

There are so many fantastic concerts on in Sydney this month that we’re all totally spoiled for choice. On our doorstep is the widely adored David Helfgott in recital at the Concourse Chatswood. For the unique and indefatigable pianist this is a major concert stop on his current Australian circuit and comes on the back of a trip to South Africa where he played to appreciative fans. Details of the 15 November concert are in our What’s On pages. On our cover this month is a “superstar of French piano music”, JeanYves Thibaudet. Writer Barry Walmsley talks with Thibaudet from Los Angeles ahead of his concert date with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Walmsley finds that the stylish Parisian has a penchant for not only the music of Gershwin, Ravel and many more, but the clothes of fashion designer Vivienne Westwood. The Royal Concertgebouw led by renowned conductor Mariss Jansons will arrive in town to much fanfare at the end of this month. Their visit is part of a global celebration of their 125th anniversary which sees them perform on six continents. Shirley Apthorp interviews a couple of Concertgebouw musicians to find out what it’s like to be a member of this great orchestra. Meanwhile, on the home-grown front, our good friends at The Metropolitan Orchestra have their own celebrations… they’ll be dreaming of the kind of longevity enjoyed by Concertgebouw but right now are more than happy to have reached their fifth anniversary and will celebrating in concert at the Goossens Hall at ABC Centre in Ultimo. The challenge of setting up and maintaining an orchestra with minimal resources is not for the faint hearted and their chief conductor and artistic director Sarah-Grace Williams would never be accused of falling into that category. She talks about the first five years and her beloved TMO on page 10. Among the great musical experiences of the world is undoubtedly the Salzburg Festival. Music aficionado Leonard Amadio shares his festive travel experiences after a recent European trip that took in Bregenz and Lucerne. Closer to home, the Huntington Estate is not only well known for its fine wines, but it is also renowned for its annual festival which this year runs from 20 to 24 November and welcomes artists such as the Doric String Quartet, pianist Freddy Kempf, tenor Andrew Goodwin, pianist Daniel de Borah and many more. Details are on - www.huntingtonestate.com.au Heading into its second year, the International Women’s Jazz Festival is another must for the busy November diary…details in What’s On. Fine food, fine wine, fine music – it’s shaping up to be a wonderful month.. Cheers,

A Brief History of Love by Jordie Albiston - for A.S. Before the first atoms got into first patterns they knew. The sun clunked around in the cumbersome sky, an awkward earth lurched into something like birth, the start of a star began. Aeons informed this earliest ticking of time. Days were invented, long months swept in and out with a breath, a heartbeat became several years. The word love was spoken and strange things fell into place: an avalanche started to flow slowly upwards, a river unstuck, an old moon clambered back into a night. And the world was finally right. LETTER TO THE EDITOR All about money I must respond to Joe Neustadt’s letter in the October 2013 Magazine re Opera Australia and filling auditoriums. So it’s all about money - we must fill our auditoriums even if we have to keep on repeating the same operas. One of these days Opera Australia will have to set La Boheme or Rigoletto in outer space to make them fresh. Gordon Kerry, in his 2009 book, says “I won’t say the future for live music is rosy, at a time when, for many organisations, the bottom line is the bum on the seat, and talk of performance indicators (KPIs) and benchmarks take precedence over artistic vision”. And why should my pleasure always come second? So, the four most important composers of opera are Puccini, Verdi, Mozart and Wagner - who says so? For a start, Joe forgot to add Richard Strauss - and no 20th century composers are listed: we’ll never get to know how important they are because we never get to experience their operas live or in auditoriums! Even if I take one of Joe’s important composers, there are three of his operas which have never been done in living memory (Le Villi, Edga, and La Rondine), and one that hasn’t been done since 1998 (Manon Lescaut). There are many composers of “lesser importance” (and not necessarily from the 20th or 21st centuries) whose music should be heard. And, to lighten the mood a bit, why don’t we hear, for example, Menotti’s The Telephone, Wolf-Ferrari’s The Secret of Susannah, Lehar’s Paganini, Balfe’s Bohemian Girl. I’ll finish by saying: OK they are not operas but have a look through the Fine Music programs for October 2013 - what a variety! I congratulate the programmers by hopefully educating/introducing some listeners to the music of Ries, Haydn’s early symphonies, modern Irish music, Carl Nielsen and so on. I suppose Joe Neustadt is a yearly Opera Australia subscriber, but I will not give them any of my pension money whilst their programming is so repetitive, hopeless and doesn’t show any evidence of artistic vision. - Don MacLeod Editor – apologies to Mr MacLeod for signing him off as ‘Dan’ in our August issue.

A PARISIAN IN AMERICA JEAN-YVES THIBAUDET

“

…a superstar of “French piano music.

Having been taught by Lucette Descaves, one of Ravel’s students at the Conservatoire, Thibaudet’s performances and recordings of Ravel have, no doubt, made him a superstar of French piano music. But his new home, the United States, has also given him a love for the music of George Gershwin. There is a synergy about this Parisian in America, who is an exponent of the music of both Ravel and Gershwin, two of the great twentieth century composers, who admired each other’s work. In fact, Ravel travelled twice to the US, and he and Gershwin met on three occasions. It was in America that Ravel heard blues for the first time, after which he composed the G major Piano Concerto and the Concerto for Left Hand. Meanwhile, Gershwin sought so much to

destined “ toI was be a pianist.

As he continues to look back to his beginnings, Thibaudet is pleased that from an early age he was happy to think of himself as a pianist. “I remember growing up and seeing my friends worry all the time about what they were going to do when they were adults. I was destined to be a pianist.” Like many, Thibuadet’s early start in music was attributable to musical parents. He also started with fine teachers at the Lyon Conservatoire, when only five. It was when he was seven that his father took him to a concert by the legendary Arthur Rubinstein. Afterwards, his father took him backstage and the young Jean-Yves sat on Rubinstein’s knee for 15 minutes and had a long conversation. When the great master asked him what he thought he wanted to be when he grew up, he responded with “ I want to play concerts just like you, and travel all around the world.” A superb conversationalist, Thibaudet ponders what path he might have taken in life had he not become a pianist. “I would have liked to be a lawyer, as I love to talk. Maybe a vet, as I love animals. Maybe a diplomat, as I love to travel. But being a musician is like being an ambassador, as there is no language barrier. “Music speaks to everyone; it has the power to bring people together, especially when you think of the problems of the world, with its many wars and divisions, due to religion.” Reaching the pinnacle of world acclaim as a pianist, does not mean that he believes he can rest on his laurels. He continues to enjoy what he is doing every day and believes in practising for three hours or more each day. “Even if I play the same piece, I have to play it over and over. There is no other secret.

..you have to love music to “the point where you cannot live without it.

November 2013

“

It is often said that music is an international language. In the person of pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, there is no greater truth. Set to visit Sydney for performances with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in December, Thibaudet is a truly global artist. Born and raised in Lyon in France, later studying at the Paris Conservatoire, he now chooses to live in Los Angeles. “It was America which saw me give most performances when I was starting out, rather than in Europe,” said Thibaudet.

music. But Thibaudet researched surviving manuscripts and found a lot of untapped material, such that there was sufficient for a five-box CD set to be released by Decca. “I love German music too,” he admits, “like Brahms and Schumann. You know half of me is German, as my mother was German. Whilst growing up in France, I spent a lot of time in Germany with my grandparents.”

“

be an accepted mainstream composer that he even asked Ravel to teach him orchestration. Thus it was with these two great figures in the world of music - each wanting to learn from the other. And, similarly for Thibaudet, being a musician is about continuing to learn and finding new things to say through music. Thibaudet, who will perform Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, thinks Gershwin is a genius. “Gershwin is a fascinating composer, a unique person in the world of music,” Thibaudet said. “I think he belongs to all categories, and I must say, I hate categories! Gershwin fits into the world of jazz, popular and classical music. “What fascinates me is to wonder what might have been produced had Gershwin not died so young.” As he reminisces, he recalls that at the age of 13 or 14 he performed both the Concerto (in G) and Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin. But he is quick to point out that he is somewhat glad that these early performances were not recorded as he believes that they would have shown a performance that was not entirely in tune with the style. “If you don’t understand jazz, then it’s like speaking a language simply phonetically … I discovered jazz at the age of 16 at the Conservatoire. I now adore jazz; it is a big part of my life.” After all, of the 40 recordings he has made for Decca, two stand out as showing his love of and influence from jazz - Conversations with Bill Evans and Reflections on Duke, both made in the late 90s. He delights in the connection between his home country of France and the American jazz world. “A bridge spans between Paris and America, as both have great jazz musicians, great jazz audiences and love of blending jazz with classical genres,” he said. But as soon as he digs deep into these links, he is quick to point out his love of all music. For he doesn’t like being pigeonholed. “I hate categories”. He would prefer to be known for all the music he plays, not just that of one or two very well-known composers. Starting to reel off a list of those composers he loves such as Liszt and Chopin, he realises that this is futile. Thibaudet just has a natural enthusiasm for music. He also loves opera and attends often wherever he can. He even has given prominence to an ofttimes neglected French composer, Eric Satie, whom people dismiss as being a light-weight composer, or one reduced to background

A PARISIAN IN AMERICA JEAN-YVES THIBAUDET “My ability to keep up to the mark, considering I am on the road for nine to ten months a year, is to remain very disciplined. I just practise every day and, as well, I need lots of sleep. “With lots of concerts every month, this also keeps me in better shape, just like an athlete - if you run more or swim more, it keeps you in better shape - so that’s why I still enjoy playing concerts.” When asked advice by young aspiring pianists, his mind turns back to his brush with Rubinstein. “It (being a pianist) can be a hard way; you have to find your own balance,” he said. “For those contemplating a career in performing, you have to love music to the point where you cannot live without it.” Despite all the accolades and acclaim, Thibaudet still is not satisfied in himself. “I believe you can always do better, but I still enjoy every time I go on stage.”

has been the toast of every “..he leading symphony orchestra.

“

After winning numerous prizes when studying at the conservatoires in both Lyon and Paris,

he got his first big break by winning the Prix du Conservatoire at the age of 17 and the next year won the Young Concert Artists Auditions in New York. Since then, he has been the toast of every leading symphony orchestra, from the Royal Concertgebouw, Chicago Symphony, and Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig to the Los Angeles Philharmonic. But his forthcoming trip to play with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra is not his first. He has visited Australia many times. “I first visited in 1986. I just love the country, the people, the audiences. I always have such a good time.” He has even contemplated living here, but the distances to continue an international career are just too great for him. In his frequent trips to Sydney, Thibaudet has played under many conductors, including Edo de Waart, and noted especially the one and only time he played with Stuart Challender in 1990, commenting that he felt “blessed” by this one event. He believes that Sydney is a mix of Los Angeles and San Francisco and loves the weather and

style of the people here. He enthuses that the city is “blessed” and “fascinating”. He also knows that the youth of this country allows it to be free and relaxed. “Classical music must change its image from being old-fashioned and rooted in old Europe. It has been the same for hundreds of years … it has become rigid, and I think we need to keep changing, in order to attract new audiences of young people. “It can’t be boring. It’s sometimes old and dusty. Why do men have to wear tails?” he asks. For Thibaudet, music doesn’t just sit on its own. He likes to fuse fashion into his performances, and he chooses his attire carefully. Whilst not wishing for clothes to draw attention from his playing, he is excited, and knows he is serving music well, when he also pays attention to what he is wearing. Having many friends in the fashion industry, he attends lots of runways, and says his favourite designer, whose clothes he has worn frequently, is Vivienne Westwood. “My fashion sense helps in liberating classical music. It can be made fresh. I think classical

music needs to be more modern, and I like to bring something new to the stage.” In Jean-Yves Thibuadet there is a man of international scope and wide musical horizons; a man who is devoted to liberating music and bringing joy to his audiences, whether it is through the masterpieces of European composers or modern jazz-inspired repertoire. - Barry Walmsley

scarily similar

Music for music’s sake, this old-fashioned concept that explains so much of our history and still fashions most of contemporary art music around the globe is relegated to special occasions - festivals and the like. The other fact, i.e. that in our globalised times most orchestras now sound scarily similar, wouldn’t matter all that much if there was an overriding objective to renew, refresh and recalibrate the repertoire.

Another year and another gloomy report appears about the future of symphony orchestras in the US. Those that haven’t yet closed their doors are in the hands of administrators staving off the worst through reduced salaries and shorter seasons. It is a fact that the economic downturn has not been kind to the institution that started off as an icon of European culture in the new world, then proceeded to overtake the European heritage on the strength of predominantly Jewish emigration around World War II and eventually consolidated that position on the strength of seemingly endless growth of available capital and audience numbers. Yet, in the wrong circumstances, capital and audiences can easily dry up. Note to the doomsayers amongst us: new symphonic orchestras are sprouting up in China, with talented and skilled graduates of massive music departments across the country, a growing infatuation with Western status symbols and burgeoning intellectual curiosity for the finer points of Western culture. The upshot of all this is hard to predict, but given that most orchestras around the world are on Facebook and have joined the YouTube Brotherhood, a live experience of classic orchestral repertoire, once the major custodian 6

…audiences will grow jaded, “self-satisfied or simply bored.

“

Roland Peelman, acclaimed conductor, pianist and artistic director steps into the shoes of a futurist to consider the ongoing impact of globalisation on music making.

By and large orchestras around the world use the same type of wind instruments and players are trained by teachers from the same school of thought. If all play the same repertoire as well, our culture will end up being impoverished and our audiences will grow jaded, self-satisfied or simply bored. The irony of it all is that orchestral standards have never been higher. Most orchestras around the world don’t blink an eyelid at performing Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring on an average of three rehearsals, a piece that had taken up to one hundred rehearsals by the time Pierre Monteux raised the baton on that famous night in Paris, May 1913. Where is music going in the 21st century, this age of digital technology and interconnectivity with so many new solutions to age-old problems? Ah, music! Poor Cecilia, singing away through torture and contempt. After one attempt at boiling her alive and three failed attempts at decapitation, her final singing notes rose up to heaven pure and enchanting. It takes a saint to survive such tribulations and it takes the most gifted of singers to muster courage and beauty amidst such assault. Why is it that the sound of a treble voice, slightly imperfect and barely trained, can still stop us in our tracks, or why is it that a vocal close harmony, pure and unembellished, goes straight to the heart, or why can we be so moved by the resonance of a massive unison

choir? Perhaps we recognise its humanity, the fragility of the treble’s voice, the common purpose in a vocal chord - or perhaps we sense something of the entire history of a nation through a beautiful choral sound. More than ever am I convinced that the seeds for renewal and musical advancement lie as much in our ability to sing as in our inventiveness to devise new instruments and tools to manipulate them. Books and lengthy scientific papers have been written about what happens during the process of singing. In essence, body and mind work together to create sound from within and externalise it. The connection with language and our ability to imagine sounds and words, speak, communicate ideas, tell stories is inextricably linked to this. Yet singing magically reaches beyond those words and stories. Situated halfway between brain and heart, the neurological mastermind and the blood engine, our voice is an instrument of both as well as the gateway to our inner being and the portal to our outward communications. No electronic device can ever aspire to emulate this level of complexity and changeability. In music as in life, technology has become both a means and an end. In this brave new world, the purity and simplicity of live singing and the bare physicality of live performance as an extension of that, can become the new cradle of humanity, a necessary musical touchstone by and for real people. Hence the future really is in the hands of the singers. Those that have St Cecilia’s courage and endurance to sing as if life depends on it. Those that can forget and transform themselves, better than any gadget ever could. Those that are ready to bare their soul and enter uncharted territory. Those that are prepared to challenge their body. And those that can connect with the other. - Roland Peelman Roland Peelman is Artistic Director of The Song Company which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2014.

ROYAL CONCERTGEBOUW ORCHESTRA

CELEBRATING 125 YEARS

“

you get the chance to go to the Concertgebouw and hear the orchestra, it’s fantastic. You work hard for the audition, but still, it’s like a present that you are given, of being able to play in this hall every day. It’s one of the most beautiful halls in the whole world. And with that gift comes the obligation to do justice to all the people who have done it before you, and to do it to the best of your capabilities.” Though cellist Benedikt Enzler is German and grew up in Munich, he also counts broadcasts of the orchestra, recordings, and its occasional concerts while on tour to his home town among his seminal childhood experiences. “The hall has a very transparent sound. Because we rehearse here, we take that with us. Our string sound is very fine, quite light, and always transparent. It’s also flexible. We react very much to conductors, and every concert is a little different.”

orchestra is very open“ The minded…it’s not arrogant…

“

When the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra arrives in Australia this month, it will be nearing the final stretch of a party to end all parties. This year, the august Dutch ensemble turns 125, and has been celebrating by doing something no other orchestra has ever done before: touring six continents in one year. How can an orchestra be 125 years old? The question recalls the ancient Greek paradox about the Ship of Theseus. If you replace every part of a wooden ship, piece by piece, can it still be said to be the same ship? Since none of the founder members of the Concertgebouw Orchestra remain, can it said to be the same orchestra? Part of the answer lies at the heart of the Dutch capital. Amsterdam is justly proud of its Concertgebouw, which is not coincidentally the same age as the orchestra, and has held its reputation as one of the world’s finest concert halls uncontested throughout its centuryand-a-quarter of existence. The building itself manages to be stately and understated at the same time, squatly facing off the far more ornate Rijksmuseum at the far end of Museum Square. Its cream, white, and gold interior is festive in a muted way. On a rehearsal day, the atmosphere is casual, but even at concerts, the hall keeps its sense of comfortable matter-offactness. There is very little flashy display to be found anywhere in the Concertgebouw. Just as the embossed names of famous composers form the only conspicuous ornament in the auditorium, so the music itself is the focus of all that happens inside it. “It’s a bit big, but at the same time it feels cosy,” says Christian van Eggelen, who has been a violinist with the orchestra for the past decade. “It has a very round and warm sound. On stage we’re close to each other, which has a lot to do with the orchestra’s sound.

Enzler first auditioned for the Concertgebouw Orchestra when he was a student. Once he had finished his studies, he returned for a second audition, and was this time successful; he has been a member of the orchestra since 2007. “The orchestra is very open-minded,” he says. “We always try to do our best. It’s not arrogant - it’s a relaxed atmosphere. That is perhaps typically Dutch - there is not too much pressure, and it’s just focused on the music.” When violinist Jane Piper joined the orchestra two years ago, she was only the second Australian ever to become a member; her compatriot Monica Gosman left shortly afterwards, leaving her as the only Australian player, currently much in demand for travel tips for the tour! - Shirley Apthorp

“If you compare it to cars, there are a great many cars, but there’s a way to drive in a Rolls Royce. And there’s a way to play in the Concertgebouw. We do that every day. It’s a way of playing, and we take it with us when we go on tour.” When van Eggelen was growing up, the Concertgebouw and its orchestra were an ideal from the moment he began to learn the violin as a six-year-old. “I’d listen to the orchestra on the radio,” he remembers. “If you’re a little boy and

YOUNG VIRTUOSI BROADCASTS This month’s broadcasts are dedicated to young performer award alumni and to emerging organists. 2012 National Fine Music Young Performer of the Year, Andrey Lebedev’s recent concert was recorded by the radio station for airplay this month. At the Paddington Uniting Church concert, Andrey kept the audience spellbound with his program of classical music from Spain, Latin America, Italy and Germany.

Andrey Lebedev Born in Moscow in 1991 and raised in Adelaide, Andrey first came to national attention in 2012 when he became the first Australian winner of the Adelaide International Guitar Competition and the first ever classical guitarist to win the Sydney Eisteddfod NSW Doctors Orchestra Instrumental Scholarship as well as the National Fine Music Young Performer Award. He has been a featured performer with the Australian Chamber Orchestra at City Recital Hall, for the Australian Pavilion at World Expo in Shanghai, Arts Centre Melbourne, Sydney Classical Guitar Society, Recitals Australia and Wesley Music Centre. In 2012 he premiered Peter Sculthorpe’s Oh T.I. for guitar and string orchestra at the Canberra International Music Festival in the presence of the composer.

YOUNG ORGANISTS Two of the young organists who competed in the Sydney Organ Music Society competition are soon to be broadcast on Fine Music. They are siblings Scott and Emily Thompson. Scott is nine years old and started learning the organ two years ago. He has played in the “Rising Stars” series at St Andrews Cathedral in Sydney. He also plays the cornet and piano. Emily is twelve and has played the organ for nearly four years. She has played an organ concerto with the Suzuki Orchestra at the Sydney Opera House, and performed in the Young Organist’s Day at the Sydney Town Hall. Last year she played in Austria, Germany, France, Holland, and particularly enjoyed a workshop at Westminster Abbey in London. Emily also plays the piano and violin and is in the Newcastle Conservatorium Intermediate Orchestra. Samuel Giddy is fourteen and lives in Yass. Two years ago he began his organ studies with Philip Swanton (from the Sydney Conservatorium) under the Gwyneth Bunning Memorial Scholarship at the ACT Organ School, Wesley Music Centre, Forrest. Last year he won the Junior and Intermediate sections of the Sydney Organ Competition. A participant in the 2012 Sydney Summer Organ Academy, he has performed

YOUNG COMPOSER OF THE YEAR 2013 INTERVIEW WITH RACHEL MERTON Being a composer… Over the past two years I realised that composing was embedded in my being. I have had lots of obstacles along the way. When I finally finished my Bachelor of Music and completed a year of a Graduate Certificate, I could not financially continue my studies. Instead I focused on teaching and threw myself into it - eventually working from 7.30am until 7.30pm. I enjoy teaching, but the more time between periods composing; the bigger the void inside m e grew.

Rachel Merton. Photo - Phillip Harsant Brisbane composer Rachel Merton is the winner of this year’s national Fine Music 102.5 Young Composer award which comes with a $3,000 prize and the privilege of having her composition premiered by the prestigious Willoughby Symphony Orchestra under conductor Nicholas Milton. Merton will be in Sydney to hear her work at the Concourse Chatswood on Saturday 16 November 7pm and again during the next day’s 2pm performance. Competition organiser and Fine Music presenter, Julie Simonds praised the sensitivity and aptness of Merton’s entry And the World was Finally Right. “Rachel’s composition was written with the thought of a community choir and limited rehearsal time. The work is lyrical and the poetry blends beautifully with the music. “ The poetry ‘A Brief History of Love’ (see page 2) was written by Melbourne poet Jordie Albiston. Richard Hair won the Young Composer Encouragement Award supported by APRA.

Challenges, self-doubt and determination… I decided to go back to university to study a Master’s degree but I found myself facing a large amount of self-doubt and self-criticism. My anxiety was almost crippling and I had to withdraw and retreated into work and pushed composing aside. My second attempt to return to my studies coincided with my mother being diagnosed with a medical condition which impaired her sight. For the next year it was necessary for me to be her aid for everyday things. Once again I withdrew from my studies, and focused on supporting my mum to assist with her medical bills. Eventually the pull of composition became so strong that I had to give it a third chance, and I was determined. One subject at a time, while working full time, I finally completed my Master of Music Studies in June this year. I credit Dr Stephen Cronin as a wonderful mentor and teacher for having belief in me and helping quell my musical selfdoubts. I realised when I was not composing I was incomplete and restless. Everything else could have been going well in life but without my expressive outlet, I would never be truly happy. Saying it sounds a little corny but I suppose it really is a part of who I am. Poetic inspirations… The work is my first orchestral and choral SATB composition. The inspirations were pulled from the symbolism I saw in the poem ‘A Brief

InspIred BegInnIngs Saturday 16 November, 7pm

SuNday 17 November, 2pm

History of Love’ by Jordie Albiston [page 2]. I created the vocal parts first and arranged the orchestration around it. The poem made me visualise the creation of the universe and how love is its parallel - of something new coming into being; two separate forces becoming one. I have tried to capture that imagery through layering textures and strong unison figures. The opening tries to capture an eerie space-like atmosphere and later on takes on a rhythmic pulse of the heartbeat, as the work progresses. Willoughby Symphony & the cherry on top… I am incredibly excited and very grateful for the opportunity to have my work performed by the Willoughby Symphony. The timing of finding out I was awarded the prize - once my university studies were over - really was the cherry on top. My confidence in my composing had already returned but this was an extra bonus to remind myself that when you do something you truly love good things follow! I am honoured too, that such experienced and well respected professionals in the music community have given my composition a chance. Doing what we love… I live with my fiancé Phil (who proposed in between finishing university, and receiving the award...it’s been an exciting year!) . Phil is finishing up a BA In journalism after returning to study to after working in sales for years before. We are both very supportive of establishing ourselves in what we love . Keeping the balance… I am an introvert so I value my alone time, reading a good book or just relaxing on the couch to recharge, although I need to remind myself to slow down and relax more often! Achievements Began studying composition age 12 years old at the Young Conservatorium of Music. Studied with Stephen Leek for five years, through to her Bachelor of Music in Composition with Dr Stephen Cronin, which she received in 2005 at the Queensland Conservatorium. Placings - ASME Young Composers Competition 1997-2001, the A.G. Francis Composition Prize in 2002, 2004 Fellowship of Australian Composers Award. First place advanced section of composition for the Keys Festival for Australian Music 2006. Her works have been aired on radio and performed by leading ensembles. Last year she returned to study to complete a Master of Music Studies in Composition in 2013. - Lizzie Herbert November 2013

TRIALS AND TRIUMPHS OF AN AUSSIE ORCHESTRA Ahead of their fifth anniversary celebrations, artistic director and chief conductor of The Metropolitan Orchestra, Sarah-Grace Williams talks about the triumphs and challenges of establishing and nurturing a classical orchestra in Sydney. The debut Our first concert was in April 2009 at the Australian International Conservatorium of Music. I will never forget watching as the orchestra walked on stage to perform our first ever piece. The applause was electric and continuous until the last musician sat. There was an excitement in the air - all were witnessing a very special moment in the Sydney music scene On a mission bringing the music to the people I had long wanted to establish a part-time professional ensemble that would deliver dynamic and intimate concert experiences from local venues in and around Sydney. My hope was to remove some of the barriers that hinder people from live classical music such as high ticket prices and imposing city venues (that attract other costs such as parking) and create an atmosphere that was inviting for audiences, old and new. Many potential patrons are unsure of the “rules” surrounding classical concerts such as when to clap and what to wear and this is often enough to keep them away. In a nutshell, I want to bring the music to the people, not the other way around. The growing years In our first year we presented only four concerts. Over the past five years our annual concert season has expanded to include several different series including our main stage “Met Series”’, an intimate “TMO” (The

Metropolitan Orchestra) Chamber Players’ series, free outdoor concerts and other special events. Although we are regularly engaged for large scale and high-profile events, we remain committed to presenting in intimate venues, with accessible pricing. This will always remain an important part of who we are. The special moments It took a lot of effort to get to our very first concert, but as I walked on stage I was already proud of the orchestra behind me. Since that time, each and every concert holds equal significance for me, and I think that is how it always should be. Being onstage with TMO at the Sydney Opera House with live film for the BBC Planet Earth, Blue Planet and Doctor Who performances in 2012 was spectacular, as was conducting TMO live to air in front of an audience of 82,000 for the 2011 NRL grand final. However, if I were to highlight one moment only, it would be performing the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto no. 3 with David Helfgott at Angel Place. This was one of the most special moments I think the orchestra has ever had. David brought such joy and passion to the stage and swept us all away, musicians and audience alike, on his fabulous musical journey. It is something that myself and the orchestra will never forget.

The challenges Without a doubt, the biggest challenge is financial. TMO receives no federal or state funding and really does run on the smell of an oily rag. Every concert we stage is done with minimal resources and much volunteer work. It is our hope to connect with like-minded and similarly passionate financial patrons and businesses who want to share the TMO journey, and join with us as we move through the next five years. Highlights ahead the birthday celebrations Our official 2014 season launch is happening at our spectacular Fifth Anniversary concert in November, so you will have to come along to get the full details! However, as a teaser I can announce that TMO will present four “Met Series” performances, our intimate “TMO Chamber Players” series plus a new “Cushion Concert” series for young audiences. Program highlights will include Symphonies of Dvorak (#8), Tchaikovsky (#6), Schumann (#3), Brahms (#4), Beethoven Triple Concerto (Lyrebird Trio), Sibelius Violin Concerto (Kirsten Williams), Beethoven Emperor Piano Concerto (Ambre Hammond) and Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf. Special events in 2014 include Faure’s Requiem with the Sydney Chamber Choir and Richard Gill (Angel Place), and heading to the high seas with patron Guy Noble for seven days of performance in the South Pacific! However 2014 can wait. Right now I am looking forward to seeing out 2013 and celebrating our fifth anniversary milestone in serious style. - Sarah-Grace Williams

FLASHBACK WITH DEREK PARKER There were excellent tenors in the sixties and seventies - of course there were; but I have to admit it was the baritones and basses that we loved - in particular that extraordinary pair, Gobbi and Christoff. It wasn’t simply their voices, though those were glorious enough - it was their very presence. Both of them could send a shiver down the back of the neck simply by walking on stage. Who could ever forget that gesture of Gobbi as Scarpia, pointing down with disdain at Cavaradossi as he lay on the floor at his feet? Or the effect Christoff made simply by rising from his chair, taking two steps down-stage and standing perfectly still before beginning his entirely individual and unsurpassed performance of “Ella giammai m’ami” - “She loves me no more” in the fourth act of Verdi’s Don Carlos?

“

Gobbi was always going to be a singer - he made his debut at La Scala during the war, but it was after 1945, when he was free to sing all over Europe and eventually in America, that he made his reputation - in 1953 making, with Maria Callas, what many people still regard as the finest recording of any opera ever made. It is a large, even perhaps an indefensible claim, but their recording with Giuseppe de Stefano of Puccini’s Tosca under Victor de Sabata has only once, very briefly, been unavailable since its first issue and, though in mono, is in the collection of every enthusiast. Eleven years later Gobbi and Callas appeared together in Franco Zefferilli’s production for Covent Garden of the same opera - a production which will never be forgotten by anyone who saw it. Happily, the second act was filmed for television it’s available on DVD - and despite being far from hi-fi either in sound or vision, conveys something of their extraordinary charisma, Gobbi vocally Callas’ equal in characterisation and power, with a wonderfully nutty tone and it seemed to me very much her superior in the physical acting of the part. He was a delightfully approachable and friendly individual - which I don’t think was always the case with Christoff, though I found him perfectly amiable. Christoff, a Bulgarian, was originally a lawyer and magistrate in Sofia, in his spare time singing in an amateur local choir, but music took over his life. He went to Italy in 1942 determined to become a professional singer, and was coached by the great Italian baritone Riccardo

Boris Christoff Stracciari. The rest, as they say, is history. He had a short fuse, and never forgot what he considered an injury. Invited to sing at the Met in 1950, he was as a citizen of the Eastern bloc refused admission into America. He irrationally blamed the administration of the Met, and never sang there, though he was a favourite at San Francisco Opera - and needless to say at Covent Garden. He sang mostly in Verdi, though his Boris Godunov was remarkable, and quarrelled with almost every prominent singer with whom he appeared, including his brother-in-law, Gobbi.

“

Christoff’s contract with La Scala was terminated after he struck Nicolai Ghiaurov.

“

the finest recording of “ any opera ever made…

He fell out with Callas spectacularly in 1961 when he appeared with her at Rome Opera, and his contract with La Scala was terminated in 1961 when he struck Nicolai Ghiaurov, who he accused of collaborating with the Bulgarian communists who had refused him entry into the country (he was given a state funeral at his death in 1993). After von Karajan went too far in trying to “persuade” him to sing Don Giovanni, he never sang under his baton again. He, like Gobbi, was a wonderful character actor, with a voice which though not especially strong was completely individual and unmistakable marvellously full and rich. The most dramatic evening I remember at Covent Garden was his first appearance, one evening in ’65, after surgery for brain tumour. Would he, could he sing as well as ever? He could, and did.

Of course there were many other fine baritones around at the time - Geraint Evans at the end of his career, a great comedian in Don Pasquale - a really fine singer of the old school, who once apologised after the final curtain of Rigoletto at the Garden, for a less than excellent performance; Norman Bailey, first heard as the Dutchman at Sadler’s Wells, but soon a great Wotan in Reginald Goodall’s fine Ring (with Alberto Remedios and Rita Hunter) - arguably one of the two finest recordings for the work; Peter Glossop, a formidable Verdi singer - one of the best Rigolettos I ever heard. And don’t I remember the Australian Geoffrey Chard, a fine Giovanni, singing bravely while swinging from a chandelier? I was fortunate enough to record the very first interview Boris Christoff ever gave - he was embarrassed by his imperfect English. The BBC gave me one of its new Ficord recorders, proudly introduced as state-of-the-art. Christoff was fascinating talking about his early life - about continuing to study in a prison camp in Italy at the end of the war. Proudly back at Broadcasting House I opened the machine. Yard upon yard of tape spilled out onto the floor. When I played it, you could hear, faintly in the remote distance a sound, under an orchestration of hums, buzzes ad clicks, which might or might not be a human voice. Yes, you may win some, but you certainly lose others. – Derek Parker

FOLLOWING THE MUSIC TO CENTRAL EUROPE Music aficionado Leonard Amadio shares his festive travel experiences after recent visits to some of the world’s greatest music destinations It was an opportunity too good to miss - to be in Central Europe in August and to spend a couple of weeks at Music Festivals in Bregenz, Lucerne and Salzburg. But above all - Salzburg. For almost a century this alpine city has been the home to one of the most, if not the most prestigious festivals celebrating opera, symphony and theatre. Established by artistic luminaries - in particular the composer Richard Strauss, the playwright Hugo von Hofmansthal and the director Max Reinhardt - the Festival has become synonymous with great musical performances and innovative operas. And of course it is the birthplace ef Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Along with the new production of Don Carlo the Die Meistersinger was the Festival’s most talked about production - by the provocative director Stefan Herheim. Critics expected something like his radical staging of Parsifal for the Bayreuth Festival, which expounded on that opera’s historical and political impact and reception. Instead we had a surprisingly traditional treatment of this glorious opera, with a superb cast led by Michael Volle as the world-weary Hans Sachs, Anna Gabler as Eva, and Roberto Sacca’s fabulous tenor voice, compensated for his lack of stature as Walther von Stolzing. The Chorus was to die for and the Vienna Philharmonic in the pit (as it is for every opera during its annual residency at the Festival), under the baton of Daniele Gatti produced a sound that one rarely hears today in Australia. Five hours later I emerged into 12

Grosses Festspielhaus - nestled below the great castle Festung Hohensalzburg the late afternoon sunlight, exhilarated, and in a state of mild euphoria. I walked through the quaint picturesque Alstadt (Old Town), where the cobbled streets and sweeping plazas linking the various Festival venues, convey the sense of being transported back in time (even to the Nurnberg of Hans Sachs!).

employees and artists “turn..3600 this charming small city into the cultural capital of the world for six weeks every year..

“

This year, with the bicentennial of Verdi and Wagner being celebrated world-wide, Salzburg Festival mounted new productions of Verdi’s Falstaff, Giovanna D’Arco, Nabucco and a much lauded new Don Carlos with a stellar cast including superstar German tenor Jonas Kaufmann. Tickets for his six performances were sold out months in advance. On the night I arrived in Salzburg, I tried in vain to procure a ticket - either a return or from a scalper. Of the two Wagner offerings - Rienzi and Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg - both in great demand - I had booked a ticket for the latter. And, it certainly was a stunning new production of this massive comic masterpiece with the most imaginative staging and some glorious singing.

As I mingled with the crowds of tourists and Festival -goers seeking bargains in the souvenir, jewellery and clothing boutique shops, I recalled reading somewhere that 3600 employees and artists turn this charming small city into the cultural capital of the world for six weeks every year. Everywhere there were unmistakable signs and indications of the Festival, and I thought to myself that this could only happen in a very small number of compact medium-sized cities such as Adelaide (where I lived and worked for thirty years and attended every Festival from 1966 to 1996), and Edinburgh which I had twice visited at festival time. The Grosses Festspielhaus is nestled below the hill on which is situated the great castle dominating the city - Festung Hohensalzburg. It is the centre of the Festival and was constructed in the 1960s at great expense at

the urging of Herbert von Karajan - who usually got what he wanted. A large dual purpose opera house and concert hall, it has great ambience, is acoustically excellent, with a giant stage and serves its purpose as the main venue for Festival opera, concerts - and some theatre. Following Die Meistersinger, it was transformed within the space of hours into concert mode for a 9pm performance by the much anticipated only appearance of Daniel Barenboim directing his extraordinary West-Eastern Divan Orchestra. I thought to myself- where else could one hear three such diverse and wonderful orchestras West-East Divan, NHK, and Berlin Phil - on three consecutive evenings?) The West-Eastern only concert was eagerly anticipated and sold out early on. To doubly celebrate the bicentennial of Verdi and Wagner, Barenboim put together a tribute to both composers, with their works interwoven with two contemporary works. Verdi’s “Sicilian Vespers” Overture was bookended by Wagner’s “Die Meistersinger” Overture - both given passionate and heartfelt performances. In between were the Preludes to Acts 1 and 3 of Verdi’s La Traviata and his “Force of Destiny“ Overture, and the Prelude to Act 1 of Wagner’s “Parsifal” - all beautifully played. The two composers Saed Haddad from Jordan, now resident in Germany, and Chaya Czernowin an Israeli were present to hear their works performed. The Haddad work-called “Que la lumber suit” - is cast as a sort of triple concerto

After a day trip to nearby Linz to see the stunning Lento Museum of Contemporary Art, (opened in 2003 - along from the Bruckner Concert Hall astride the Danube) and a quick look into the impressive new Musiktheatre building (opened in May this year) - it was back to Salzburg for a concert in the Felsenreitschule which is adjacent to the Grosses Festspielhaus . It was the site of a former quarry (the name means “rock riding school”) and was made into the Archbishop of Salzburg’s own equestrian school following the excavation of granite for the Salzburg Cathedral. Built in 1693 it became the primary theatre venue of the Festival in 1926, until the construction of the Grosses Festspielhaus. It has an enormous double width stage and it is the venue for the annual Festival Ball (now in its second year) and is one of the social highlights of the Festival.

Charles Dutoit

Daniel Barenboim The concert in the Felsenreitschule, with works by modern Japanese composers, the late Toru Takemitsu and Toshio Hosokawa (who was present) formed one of a series called Salzburg Contemporary - Festival concerts devoted to modern music. They were intriguing - the Takemitsu called “November Steps”, scored for Biwa, Shakuhachi and Orchestra and the Hosokawa work called “Klage” for Soprano and Orchestra. Charles Dutoit conducted the NHK Symphony Orchestra from Tokyo,(he is their Musical Director Emeritus) and is well known to Sydney audiences. After interval Dutoit and the Orchestra delivered an absolutely incandescent performance of Berlioz’s “Symphonie Fantastique” with extended applause and acclamation. My final evening in Salzburg (after a leisurely day over lunch at the Hotel Sacher, and visits to galleries and the exquisite Mirabelle Gardens) was to experience a concert that will stay in my memory above all others. The incomparable Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra with their Music Director Sir Simon Rattle presented two Salzburg Festival concerts - an all-Mozart program which had sold out well in advance - and the second, which I attended - a 20th century program. First up was Arnold Schonberg’s Transfigured Night for string orchestra, showing off the shimmering sound of the string sections, then the orchestra and Canadian Soprano Barbara Hannigan - much sought after for her interpretation of contemporary music- reprised her role as Marie in three “fragments” from Alban Berg’s opera “Wozzeck”( an opera which received its Australian premiere at Adelaide’s 1976 Festival.) After interval, one of the 20th century’s greatest and most original compositions - Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring”- performed world-wide in this its centenary year - was given the sort of astonishing performance - disciplined, powerful and electrifying - that can only come from an orchestra of exceptional brilliance. Such was this performance that looking at the expression on Sir Simon’s face I think that even he was overwhelmed with emotion. It was, for me, the performance of a lifetime, and the endless applause cheers and bravos from the audience said it all. A great way to finish a Salzburg visit.

with a bright sounding trumpet, trombone and iridescent vibraphone as solo instruments. The second work by Czernowin is called “At the Fringe of our Gaze”- in six movements and with a concertino group comprising violin, viola, cello, clarinet, piano and percussion - all within the framework of the larger orchestra. The composer told us that she wanted to take the young Israeli and Arab instrumentalists by the hand, as it were, guiding them gently into the realm of contemporary music. The concertino group was led from the violin by Michael Barenboim son of Maestro Barenboim, who is also leader of the West-Eastern Divan. The soloists in both works were all orchestra members. The juxtaposition of one new work in each half of the concert with the well-known Verdi and Wagner pieces made for a fascinating program, and the superb playing of the orchestra was a tribute to the musicianship of Barenboim and the passion he brings to music.

The West-Eastern Divan, a uniting of young musicians from Israel, Palestine and Arab countries still seems incredible today, fourteen years after its founding in 1999 by Barenboim, (an Israeli), and Palestinian writer and philosopher, the late Edward Said. The Orchestra has flourished over the years and in 2007 was invited to a highly acclaimed residency at the Salzburg Festival. Since then they have made return visits. A primary reason for going both to Lucerne and Salzburg Festivals, during my Central European travels in August, was a strong desire to hear and see for the first time the West-Eastern Divan with Daniel Barenboim. My friendship with him stretches back to 1962 when he came to Australia for his second ABC Concert Tour. He was then 19 his first tour had been in 1958 age 16 when he was accompanied by his wonderfully supportive parents. It was his father who gave him his first piano lesson, and he gave his first public recital at the age of eight in Buenos Aires where he was born and grew up before the family moved to live in Israel). We developed a friendship that has continued to this day. For many years now I have been trying to persuade him to return to Australia (he last visited for the ABC in the Beethoven Bicentennial year 1970 when he toured with his wife - the late Jacqueline du Pre). He has since made it clear that he would only consider a return visit if he could bring his own orchestra and in 2007, when I was in Berlin for the Mahler Symphonic Cycle with his Staatskapelle Orchestra - where he shared the ten concerts with Pierre Boulez - I began the ongoing process of trying to convince him that a visit to Australia with his unique West-Eastern Divan Orchestra would be a much anticipated event for music lovers here and for a whole generation of Australians who know him only through the splendid recordings made over the last few decades. On that front, stay tuned! - Leonard Amadio November 2013

In the final performance of its 2013 Concert Series, the Sydney University Graduate Choir celebrates the European Baroque, featuring Vivaldi’s Gloria RV 589, his most familiar and popular piece of sacred music, and the extraordinary Missa Dei Patris by Zelenka, a seventeenth century Czech composer at the Royal Saxon court in Dresden and contemporary of JS Bach. This vibrant mass showcases Zelenka’s craftsmanship, which is

comparable to that of the great Bach, but in his very own distinctive style. Conducted by Music Director Christopher Bowen OAM, the Missa De Patris takes the Choir into entirely different territory. Zelenka is one of the most important baroque composers, with his music admired for its harmonic inventiveness and counterpoint, however, he is not as well-known as his contemporaries.

It combined the traditional words of the Latin Requiem mass with anti-war poems by Wilfred Owen. It drew on huge forces - two choirs, two orchestras and three soloists. The intended soloists carried symbolic weight: an English tenor and a German baritone (“I am the enemy you killed, my friend”) and a Russian soprano.

The all-star line-up includes Japanese pianist Eri Yamamoto (below), baritone saxophonist Claire Daly (US), saxophonist Froy Aagre (Norway), U.NLOCK - the new project from New York based trombonist Shannon Barnett and vocalist Gian Slater, Tina Harrod, Nat Bartsch, Judy Bailey OAM, Jade McRae, Joy Yates and Virna Sanzone presenting the Italian Project with Paul Grabowsky. Claire Daly will also guest with the Sirens Big Band. Plus hear some swinging jazz and blues with the Jo Fabro Quintet in a free afternoon performance at the Seymour Centre courtyard on 16 November. This year the festival is taking place across five locations including inner city venues The Sound Lounge and Sydney’s hottest new jazz club, Foundry616. Also see performances at VJ’s in Chatswood, Parramatta’s Riverside Theatre and art-deco restaurant, 1923 will host a fourcourse lunch and concert at Wentworth Falls.

Hailed as an immense success, the first performance of Elijah (op. 70) was given on the 26th October 1846 in Birmingham Town Hall conducted by Mendelssohn himself. With huge forces the first performance would have been one which certainly would have left an impression; an orchestra of 125, and a choir of 270 singers. Elijah is a chorister’s delight in which to find pathos, drama and cheer excitement in the singing of these great choruses. Soloists have some of the ORCHESTRAL most dramatic and poignant music to sing with CONSERVATORIUM SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA an orchestration, which is regarded as some of ELIJAH Mendelssohn’s finest writing.

800 MILLION HEARTBEATS Stuart Greenbaum, NZTrio

✶✶✶✶

FOR NOW I AM WINTER Olafur Arnalds – Mercury Classics 2013

✶✶✶ A most unusual album. Not quite classical but not typical pop. It is an album that will reward repeated hearings because it was quite hard for my unfamiliar ears to become accustomed to it. Once I realised that I needed to hear it like a soundtrack, then I understood the mood that it was creating and I started to like it. The male tenor’s voice casts a haunting sound and the entire album is quite melancholy and elegiac. Instrumentation is relatively thin and mostly ONE Claire Edwardes Percussion music by various composers Tall Poppies TP 223

November 2013

The latest release by acclaimed Australian Composer Stuart Greenbaum is fascinating, creative and accessible. The first and titular track refers to the curious fact that the lifespan of many living creatures lasts for about 800 million heartbeats. The second, Falling by Degrees is about gravity and how it affects various objects from meteors to apples as well as more figurative senses of falling such as nightfall and falling stock markets. This CD reveals Greenbaum’s extraordinary talent as a composer who synthesises a fountain of innovative ideas that intrigue and captivate the listener. He creates a truly Australian sound using an eclectic fusion of influences from jazz and pop to baroque. Greenbaum, the head of composition at the University of

Melbourne, collaborates with NZTrio whose interpretation of these modern Australian pieces is faultless and effective. The dynamic group of young performers is vital and pioneering, combining old and new music and working with local and international artists across diverse genres. 800 Million Heartbeats is an important addition to Australian music and a fresh and essential album for lovers of fine music. The final track is fittingly titled Book of Departures and Greenbaum notes that “Departure’ is an interesting word. It can denote sadness and nostalgia - but it can equally refer to the outset of exciting new journeys, and in my mind this piece attempts to address both meanings.” - Claire Hu

the music is soft. There was a huge climax point somewhere around track 9, and then, stunningly, a long inexplicable period of silence. The music after this climactic point was a huge anti-climax. These would be my two observations of the album, which on the whole is an interesting and successful attempt at producing positive but unusual music. A word of advice based on my own listening experience, this album uses its musical resources very efficiently and even though not much seems to be happening, it was impossible for me to listen to it in the background. Only when I paid careful attention to the music did the music reveal its treasures to me. - Richard Wong In the year 2000 the Beatles produced a CD that they called 1. In 2013 Claire Edwardes has produced her own version of ONE and a very interesting and effective one it is. It all sounds like a wonderful musical magic mystery tour. The CD repertoire of eleven percussion works is a mix between existing works and some commissions. Zenakis is well represented with his Rebonds B and Rebonds A where we hear bongos, congas, tom toms, bass drums and woodblocks all wonderfully rhythmically fused. Adelaide-born Matthew Shlomowitz chose the hi-hat but expects the performer to vocalise which reveals a little about the performer. Old MacDonald’s Yellow Submarine by Eric Griswold drawing on influences from John Cage is an exploration of sounds and interlocking rhythms. Laurence Crane composed his Solo for Claire Edwardes, which was premiered in 2005.

The style is reflective with an interesting pre-record aspect to the performance. With Mexican born Javier Alvarez’s Temazcal the maraca material is drawn from traditional Latin American rhythm pattern where we encounter sound sources on tape, harp, a folk guitar and pizzicato double bass. Stuart Greenbaum’s Clockwork Lemon written solely for snare drum and hi-hat explores 2/3 and 5/8 rhythms and is naturally a playful reference to the film Clockwork Orange. Stockhausen’s Aquarius and Taurus and Rzewski’s To the Earth and Robert Sierra’s Bongo-O complete the highlights. Edwardes continues to show amazing technique on a whole variety of colourful instruments and she’s now sorted for the moment the problem of accommodating her instruments in the back of her car! – Emyr Evans

TOKYO STRING QUARTET Dvorˇák: Quartet No. 12, Smetana: Quartet No. 1 Harmonia Mundi HMU807429

✶✶✶✶ Despite 45 years of playing and performing together, the Tokyo String Quartet (TSQ) GARDENS OF STONE Amanda Handel - piano. Michael Jackson - didjeridu A. Handel - 2012

✶✶✶ When I was asked to write a review for this CD, I was fascinated by two things. Firstly, the names of the performers and secondly the combination of the instruments. It was my first time listening to didgeridoo in a classical music context. As regards the names - one the surname of an historical composer and the other a famous rock musician - Handel and Michael Jackson. The great distance in time between those artists is as distant in the extreme as their respective styles of music. The two performers in our present time take us to the road less travelled by many music lovers. Piano and didjeridu seem THE MOZART QUESTION Michael Morpurgo / The London Philharmonic Orchestra and various additional performers LPO 0067

✶✶

continues to radiate an honest enthusiasm for music. Their CD recording of Dvorˇák’s ‘American’ Quartet and Smetana’s Quartet ‘From My Life,’ is no exception. It captures the group’s mastery in ensemble playing and maturity in musical expression. The recording embraces the distinct sound qualities of the TSQ, from their penetrating depth of sound and indulgent use of vibrato, to their subtle expressive portrayals of masculinity. The TSQ greets Dvorˇák’s American Quartet with confidence and grandeur. The first movement is performed with a convincing display of authority, and the rich tonal colours are particularly mesmerising. In the third movement, every note is handled with

a remarkable degree of tenderness, despite its overall energetic buoyancy. The effect is heart melting. Apart from an unfortunate overload of shift slides from the cello and first violin in the second movement, the faultless precision and clarity from the quartet is highly commendable. Smetana’s “From My Life’ is also performed with musical brilliance, however the work does not sit with the same comfort and ease as Dvorˇák’s American Quartet. TSQ’s performance is highly moving and upholds moments of exceptional beauty. This CD is definitely a worthwhile sensory experience. - Bree Baxter

as far apart as our understanding of Handel and Michael Jackson’s music. However, love for the nature of the Blue Mountains inspired the music and brought together the two instruments beautifully under the title “Gardens of Stone”. Amanda Handel’s compositions and piano playing in collaboration with didjeridu master, Michael Jackson, take us to the magnificence of this scenic region. For most classical musicians, collaborating with didjeridu is a rare opportunity and Michael Jackson really expanded my expectation of didjeridu playing. Listening to the pitching of the melody on didjeridu made it sound like a new instrument to me. I was very much impressed with the variety of tone colours and methods of didjeridu playing. For a musician such as myself, ignorant of this music, I would have enjoyed reading about the

didjeridu in the CD booklet. However, I very much enjoyed this CD and its true “Aussie’” sound. Many thanks to Amanda and Michael for the initiation and breaking the boundaries for musicians. - Eun-Jung Byun

From the excellent sleeve-notes written by Carenza Hugh-Jones - “The Mozart Question is the story of a great violinist - Paolo Levi. We hear how he develops a passion for music as a young child…he goes on to become a world famous performer. However, running parallel to this story is also that of his parents who were both musicians too. We find out about a dark and challenging part of their lives - one that has a lasting effect on them. Friendship and family, truth and secrets, and the power of culture and music are all interwoven into the story.” This CD is a reading of Morpurgo’s book “The Mozart Question” with the music above interleaving the story’s narration. Some of the musical excerpts in the audiobook were specially adapted. So it is no longer a surprise that the CD is not solely devoted to Mozart’s music, because

the title of the book is about Mozart, not the music on the CD. The confusion is removed. This CD is relevant only for those who know of Morpurgo’s book, or those people who want to hear about a work of fiction that is set in “the traumatic and disturbing events of the Holocaust”. The musical extracts are very worthwhile, played in the Romantic style; it is the London Philharmonic Orchestra after all. But this CD is not specifically for music lovers; the extracts can be obtained more satisfyingly from other CDs. The story is the central interest for this CD. My rating is based on my lack of interest in this kind of story and my disappointment that some of the musical excerpts are cut or modified. If you want to hear the complete music, other CDs better serve that purpose. - Richard Wong November 2013

HONEYSUCKLE ROSE: THE CLASSIC RECORDINGS Nat King Cole Trio Verve (Jazz Club Legends) 5319302

✶✶✶✶

Nat Cole made his reputation as one of jazz’s kings at the keyboard something that is often forgotten today. That’s not surprising considering his rapid development from an intimate conversational singer to one of the most distinguished of all popular music personalities as its greatest ballad singer. His was the first great jazz-grounded male voice since Louis Armstrong’s. Although his honey smooth baritone would overshadow his pianistic skills, his outstanding ability at the keyboard should never be forgotten. Originally influenced by the great Earl Hines, Cole left his imprint on this tradition and on all pianists afterwards who were a part of it. The peak of his pianistic achievements was with his trio, formed in 1938 when he was a teenager, where his facile fingering and quick

SOPHISTICATED LADY: THE DUKE ELLINGTON SONGBOOK COLLECTION Sarah Vaughan Concord (Pablo PAB-34608-02)

✶✶✶✶✶ This is the definitive Ellington songbook! In fact it is even better than the 1957 Verve set of Ellingtonia by Ella Fitzgerald for which the Duke did not even bother to write new arrangements which is why the small group sessions with Ben Webster and Stuff Smith remain the highlights. Ellington’s ego would not allow him to play second fiddle to anyone.

with pianist Rossano Sportiello and bassist Joel Forbes it’s as if they are singing Hoagy Carmichael’s melodies through their instruments. With Forbes the heart beat, Allen and Sportiello explore 13 numbers with feeling and agility. Surprisingly there is no Star Dust, at one time America’s most popular song and the most recorded of all the standards until music became an industry and albums a “product”. But to compensate there is a short but superb Skylark and a smooth version of New Orleans with the seldom heard verse. A traditionalist with a penchant for the Great American Songbook, versatile is the one word which sums up Allen. Guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli says he has everything: “You give him something to play and he’ll give you the best solo you ever

thinking were combined with guitarist Oscar Moore’s technically able and richly intuitive guitar and the bass of Wesley Prince and, later, Johnny Miller’s bass. The recordings here, collectors’ items mainly drawn from his first commercial recordings for the Decca label in 1940-41, show why this legendary trio was rated so highly and why it set the benchmark and popularised piano trios. The absence of a drummer gave it a light, jumping sound with the clever arrangements taking advantage of the rapport between Cole and Moore. The 1940 version of Sweet Lorraine, where his homage to Hines is so apparent, makes an interesting contrast to that of 1943, the group’s breakthrough hit. And the rollicking Honeysuckle Rose from the same year is out of the same bag.

treasure, a perfect setting for a wondrous voice. All but six tracks have been released before when the backings by big band, orchestral and small groups were spread over two volumes. They are now in chronological order. And those six tracks recorded in August, 1979 with lovely orchestral arrangements by the peerless Benny Carter which also feature Zoot Sims’ tenor set the scene. This is vintage Vaughan, with Sims’ lyricism complementing her on such classics as the title track, Lush Life, In A Sentimental Mood, Solitude, Day Dream and Tonight (I Shall Sleep With A Smile On My Face). Although her speaking voice deepened as she grew older, her vocal suppleness, impeccable elasticity and remarkably luscious timbre remained unravaged by time. The Billy Byers-led big band tracks

include the definitive vocal performance of I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart and there is a superb, longer Day Dream with an all star small group. For me this is the greatest of all her albums.

SWINGING ON THE VINE A FEATHER IN THE WIND

Swallowing the final mouthful of pasta I burp loudly in appreciation of the rich sauce dominated by the flavours of garlic, chilli, chorizo sausage and basil. I check Little (Getting Bigger) J’s bowl before draining the contents of a bottle of chilled red. My one true friend casts his piggy eyes balefully at the paddock where my prize bulls, Ariadne and Eros, are on full alert waiting for any sign of The Mouth, my feared sister-in-law.

said he could play me under the table with one hand.” (This was an ironic and cruel remark as Feather had no credibility as a top jazz pianist).

Present-day society never ceases to amaze or disgust me - one which takes seriously the pseudo intellectual smugness and opinions of fundamentally illiterate troglodytes with the mental age of six; a society where top billing is given to testicles, sexual power and hypochondria - and the token woman is sometimes allowed to step from the shadows of male domination.

And the work dried up, leading Hodes to claim that he was forced out of New York in 1950, a victim of the so-called jazz war.

But by no means could The Mouth be called a token woman. You would have difficulty keeping her silent under general anaesthetic! And she fears no man - she is a 21st century incarnation of the Celtic warrior queen Boadicea and the Amazonian queen Hippolyta. She is an ultra feminist who takes no prisoners which will be the case if she succeeds in her assault on my Hunter Valley hideaway. And the target of her rage is a dog-eared copy of Playboy magazine! Being a Neanderthal, although admittedly one with class, I protest that the only reason I have it is because Leonard Feather is named as its jazz editor. “A feather in the wind,” she had snorted ignoring my manly protests so, with my bulls standing guard, Little (Getting Bigger) J ready to charge and my breath the vilest yet we wait her assault. Feather, at one time jazz’s most influential critic, writer and broadcaster, helped shape my early taste in the music although in those days I did not realise my idol had clay feet. I would later read of Oran “Hot Lips” Page chasing him down a busy avenue to deal with him after he had given the trumpeter a poor review. And his comments on the arrival of the pianist Marian McPartland on her arrival in New York in March, 1946 - “Oh, she’ll never make: she’s English, white and a woman!” But with poise and grace she did make it - and Feather was wrong although he later tried to say the comment was meant as a joke.

“After this it got so bad that I played Ballin’ The Jack as a two-beat it emptied the house. Also it cost me the album I was just about to make with Lester Young. Prez had wanted to do this, an all blues collection. After Feather’s Metronome attack on me the record company cancelled the date.”

Marian McPartland Chicago-born pianist Art Hodes blames Feather, aided and abetted by another critic in Barry Ulanov, for instigating the so-called jazz war between the traditionalists and the modernists in the 1940s. “Before they came along we all used to hang out together: beboppers, mainstreamers and traditionalists. We respected each other and we had plenty of things in common.” (At the time Hodes was editing a very respected magazine called The Jazz Record which ran for five years with 60 issues - from February, 1943 to November, 1947. The idea of the magazine was to have musicians talking about other musicians and as a result it became something of a cult publication. Some of its most interesting essays were released in a book as Selections From The Gutter). As regards Feather, according to Hodes, he drove the wedge in, promoting and sensationalising a division. “You have to realise the tremendous power he had accumulated by the end of the forties. He was the dominant broadcasting voice and magazine writer for Esquire, Metronome and Down Beat. He began to organise those popularity polls. And he acted as if Jelly Roll Morton had kicked him in the ass! “So a lot of us got hurt. Anyway . . . he first slammed me personally via Metronome. Then

With five children and a wife, Hodes had no choice but to return to Chicago - and near obscurity. With the jazz and blues scene all but dead there, the fifties represented the nadir of his professional life. He worked with and led various New Orleans style groups now dubbed as “Dixieland”. And finally he began to teach piano - an occupation he never ceased between public engagements - and which would lead, eventually after his first wife’s death to a second happy marriage. However, there were no regular solo jobs until 1962 when trumpeter Bob Scobey visited Chicago with his band and asked that Hodes be booked opposite him. That’s when things began to pick up. At the end of the season with Scobey there were invitations to tour - Toronto, Denver, St Louis and Detroit. His club dates became more regular. He became a college favourite and even led a band at Disneyland. There was also a revival of his work in the media including a lecture-concert program on jazz history on Chicago’s educational TV channel and better still a regular column in Down Beat magazine under the heading “Sittin’ In”. It was just the beginning of his renaissance . . . overseas tours beckoned. Hodes may have lost the war but he survived the peace. . . . My bulls begin bellowing, Little (Getting Bigger) Little J is on his feet, I swallow a large mouthful of red before chewing on a handful of raw, chopped garlic - The Mouth is approaching . . . - Patrick D Maguire

Jascha Heifetz A VIOLINISTS’ VIOLINIST The Art of Jascha Heifetz Friday 8 November 1pm Jascha Heifetz was the man who stabilised and consolidated the way the most difficult of instruments was handled. He set the tone, and throughout his adult career, critics, fellow musicians and the public used him as their benchmark of good violinism. On a purely technical level, he has not been equalled, let alone surpassed. He was a quintessentially twentieth-century man but sometimes his performances harked back in style to an earlier age, little nudges of rubato and slithers of portamento would usually creep in when he gave a recital, taking his cue from his predecessors. Born in Vilnius, Lithuania, on 2 February 1900. His father Rubin, a competent fiddler, started him on the violin when he was three before passing him on to Ilya Malkin, a pupil of Leopold Auer. At six Heifetz made his debut and a year later he played the Mendelssohn Concerto in Kovno. To enable him to stay with his family when he entered Auer’s class at the St Petersburg Conservatory in 1910, his father enrolled as well. Such was Heifetz’s talent, just ten short years later he’d already made his debut at Carnegie, and was taking his London bow with two Queen’s Hall concerts – so successful were these that he returned again the same year. He took U.S. citizenship in 1925 and three years later he married the film star Florence Vidor (that and a second union ended in divorce). During World War II he gave many concerts for the American forces. In 1947 he reintroduced himself to London with the Beethoven and Tchaikovsky concertos at the Royal Albert Hall, before the Queen and an audience of more than six thousand. In 1949 he offered Londoners the Elgar Concerto, and when he played the sonata by Richard Strauss in Israel in 1953, riot police had to be called, and Heifetz was attacked by a fanatic with an iron bar. In 1959 he performed for the United Nations General Assembly but in the 1960s he began

to confine himself mainly to the west coast of America; chamber music also loomed larger in his life, through the Heifetz-Piatigorsky concerts. Having given his last concert in 1972, he grew increasingly reclusive, and he died in Los Angeles on 10 December 1987. As a player he was known not only for technical perfection but also for his liking of faster speeds. He commissioned a number of new concertos, including that by William Walton. Although he had a 1731 Stradivarius, his favourite instrument of all time was the 1742 “David” Guarnerius del Gesù. - Troy Fil

A TOUCH OF FRENCH MOUNTAIN SONG Spotlight on Vincent d’Indy Saturday 2 November 9.30am Vincent d’Indy was as Parisian as they come. Born there in 1851, he spent the majority of his life in the city, devoting his life to its musical life. D’Indy was a disciple of César Franck, whose music he did much to propagate. Inspired by his studies with Franck he distinguished himself as a teacher, and together with Charles Bordes and Alexandre Guilmant, founded the influential and rigorous Schola Cantorum a school founded as a result of their joint dissatisfaction with the standard of teaching at the Conservatoire de Paris. In the summer of 1873 he visited Germany, he had a number of his works performed there, including his overture Les Piccolomini, which was featured alongside works by Bach and Beethoven, and in 1875 his symphony dedicated to János Hunyadi was performed. Fascinatingly, that same year he played a minor role – the prompter – at the premiere of Bizet’s opera Carmen. While in Germany he met Liszt and Brahms, but it was Wagner that was to have the greatest impression on the young Vincent. In 1876 he was present at the first production of the Ring Cycle at Bayreuth. It’s fair to say this made a great impression on d’Indy because he became a fervent Wagnerite. That said, it was also his home country which shone through in his music. His Symphonie sur un chant montagnard français (“Symphony on a French Mountain Air”) for piano and orchestra, completed in 1886, is overtly patriotic, based on a French folksong. His Fantaisie for oboe and orchestra is also based on a French folktheme. D’Indy wrote widely in all principal genres, which included six completed operas, as well as the libretti for Fervaal, L’Étranger (“The Stranger”) and La Légende de SaintChristophe. D’Indy also wrote widely on musical subjects, and was a popular figure in the musical life of Paris in his day, even though by the time of his death a new era in music was well under way.

Virgin 7 59305 2 2:34 Oberon and Tytania, King and Queen of the fairies, quarrel. Oberon orders Puck to obtain a herb that will enable him to bewitch Tytania. Two pairs of mortal lovers are thrown into confusion when Puck mistakenly bewitches two of them. A group of rustics appear to rehearse a play to be performed at the wedding of the Duke of Athens. Instructed by Oberon, Puck bewitches Bottom, their leader, and turns him into an ass with which Tytania falls in love. Confusion follows confusion, the mortal lovers quarrel, the rustic actors despair of earning their reward from the Duke. In the nick of time, Oberon relents, Bottom is re-humanised and the lovers are reconciled. All ends happily at the wedding feast. Britten, B. Simple symphony for strings, op 4 (1934).

The conspirators plan to assassinate Monforte, but he has learned that Arrigo is his son. Arrigo prevents his father from being killed, but the conspirators are sentenced to death. Although spared by his father, Arrigo wants to die with Elena. When Arrigo calls him ‘Father’, Monforte blesses their marriage.

Symphony in E, Hob.I:12 (1763). Vienna CO/Ernst Märzendorfer. Musical Heritage Society OR H-201-249

Seeking her husband Florestan, a nobleman who has been flung into prison, Leonore disguises herself as a man, Fidelio, to work in the jail. Marzelline, daughter of Rocco, the jailer, falls in love with Fidelio. The prison governor, Pizarro, is warned that Fernando, Minister of Justice is coming to inspect the jail. Heavily chained and delirous from starvation, Florestan dreams of Leonore as an angel, watching over him and she recognizes his voice. She prevents Pizarro from killing Florestan. The Minister frees all those unjustly imprisoned by Pizarro, who is led off to be punished for his tyranny. 22:30 VIVALDI AND OTHER ITALIANS RECORDED BY FINE MUSIC Vivaldi, A.

Britten, B. Gloriana, op 53. Opera in three acts. Libretto by William Plomer. First performed London, 1953. QUEEN ELIZABETH I: Josephine Barstow, sop ROBERT DEVEREUX, Earl of Essex: Philip Langridge, ten FRANCES, Countess of Essex: Della Jones, mezz CHARLES BLOUNT, Lord Mountjoy: Jonathan Summers, bar PENELOPE, Lady Rich: Yvonne Kenny, sop SIR ROBERT CECIL: Alan Opie, bar SIR WALTER RALEIGH: Richard van Allen, bass Monmouth School Choir; Welsh National Opera Ch & O/Charles Mackerras. Decca 476 2593 2:28 Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, provokes Lord Mountjoy into fighting with him and Queen Elizabeth scolds the men for their jealousy. Essex asks the Queen to let him go to Ireland to counter the rebellion led by the Earl of Tyrone. The Queen is reluctant, and Essex accuses Cecil and Walter Raleigh of plotting against him. At a ball at the Palace, Lady Essex is humiliated when the Queen arrives wearing Lady Essex’s dress, which is far too short and tight for her. Essex is furious at the Queen’s behaviour, but calms down when Elizabeth returns in her own clothes and appoints him Lord Deputy of Ireland. Essex’s fails to control the Irish rebellion and the Queen, initially sympathetic to his troubles, grows impatient when he complains about his enemies at court. Cecil warns Elizabeth that the Irish rebels and the hotheaded Essex both pose a threat to her reign. Elizabeth agrees that Essex should be kept under house arrest. Essex is branded a traitor and sent to the Tower of London. Cecil, Raleigh and other councillors try to persuade the Queen to sentence Essex to death, but she is reluctant. However, she becomes angry when the proud Lady Rich implies that the Queen needs Essex to rule effectively and signs Essex’s death warrant. A ceremony of carols, op 28 (1942).
